Changing the password security policy

XWiki 11.9 You can define the password security for all the users of the wiki. The policy is defined by some rules available in the Administration > Users & Rights > Registration page. You can specify the minimum length of the password, and if it must contain numbers, lower/upper case characters, and symbol.

Please note that when the rules are changed, all further password changes must comply with the new rules, but the older password are still all valid.

To enable a user, follow the same steps but click on the opened lock.

Modify the number of users displayed in the list

This is valid as of v3.5 (I think it works on any 3.x version).

You have to edit XWiki.AdminUsersSheet for users. The page contains a line like this:

Replace it with:

Enable/Disable User Account

Starting with XWiki 11.6RC1 it is now possible to disable a user account and to enable it back from his/her profile.
A disabled user is able to login but cannot perform any action once logged-in.

Inactive Users

If you configured the registration page to enable the Use Email Verification, then new registered users are by default inactive. The user account is activated by a link on the email. (See more information in Administration Application).

Starting with XWiki 11.6RC1 the inactive users are prevented to get access to most pages of the wiki by default. The page they can get access to can be configured in the configuration.

Prior from that, the Authentication Active Check must be checked in order for inactive users to get access to the wiki.
